WiFi Extenders and LAN

In my new WiFi6 setup (damn!) I've got the Router, with a few Ethernet
sockets, a wireless TV box with an Ethernet socket, and a WiFi extender
box again with an Ethernet socket. (French Freebox Pop kit, for what
it's worth).

Obviously, those two extension boxes can connect WiFi to the router, or
can connect LAN to the router.  However, I "assumed" that, with the
boxes connected to the router via WiFi, their LAN sockets would be
outputs as well as inputs - and I could plug a Touch or a Radio into
them, bypassing the troublesome WiFi6.  But, so far as I can tell, the
LANs are IN only - an SB device plugged in reports "No LAN Connection".
(Those on the Router work fine as OUT).

Is that "as expected"?  In my innocence, I thought that LAN sockets were
always both IN and OUT.  Am I wrong, as it seems?
